Remains of dry stone retaining wall

When the Worcester-Bromyard railway was extended to Leominster in the 1890s a cutting had to be made north west of the station through a projecting portion of the Old Red Sandstone ledge on which the town was founded. Above the west side of the cutting a footpath joined Church Lane with Church Street. This was given a dry stone retaining wall on its upper side, which over the years, with no maintenance, has slipped and been covered with earth and plant debris from above, so that few people now recognise it for what it was.
